England scrap...but not hard enough

Aug 11, 2007

Nightwatchman James Anderson was the first man out, trapped in front by RP Singh for 16•Getty Images

Kumble bowled a loopy delivery that was drifting down leg side. Cook leant forward and tried to flick but he was far too early on the shot. The ball hit the back of the bat and lobbed up tamely to RP Singh at mid-off •Getty Images

... to Tendulkar's first delivery. Pietersen launched a swishing drive, the ball spun and a thick edge was taken by Dravid at slip•Getty Images

...and Ian Bell looked in good touch too•Getty Images

Four balls later Sidebottom, attempting to pull a short one, top-edged the ball straight up and Zaheer got underneath it for a simple catch•AFP

Alastair Cook capitalised on Dinesh Karthik's drop to stroke a fluent half-century before falling to Anil Kumble•Getty Images

In his next over Kumble removed Vaughan - on the stroke of lunch. Kumble tossed up the googly on off stump and Vaughan leant forward to drive. But the ball stopped on him a little and he hit it with the inside half of the bat back to Kumble •Getty Images

But Collingwood fell to Sreesanth for 62 when he played across the line and Ian Howell raised his finger after a short think. It looked like a dodgy decision as the ball was heading down the leg side - although the replay showed it was just clipping leg •AFP

Kevin Pietersen went on the attack...but fell to a rash shot...•Getty Images

But Paul Collingwood was defiant as ever...•Getty Images

The new ball brought another wicket, as Zaheer Khan ended Ian Bell's aggressive stay at the innings. Bell cut a short and wide delivery from Zaheer and got an edge through to Dhoni. Deserved reward for Zaheer, but a soft end to Bell's innings•Getty Images
